Here at Designer Digitals, we’ve been celebrating Christmas in July. Since that’s a decidedly non-traditional idea, I decided to make our Christmas in July Color Challenge a bit non-traditional as well! I love the more standard Christmas red and green. It makes me happy to see those colors in Christmas decorations, wrapping and tablescapes. But there are a lot of really beautiful non-traditional color schemes that can create decidedly beautiful and decidedly Christmas-y pages! Depending on your photos, moving away from traditional colors to something non-traditional could really work better, and open up a bevvy of possibilities to give you the look you want. I found these gorgeous ideas on the Design-Seeds website, always a great source for beautiful color:

Our CT found inspiration in these photos as well, and created some really fun, really beautiful, and really touching Christmas holiday pages without more than a speck of traditional red and Christmas green.

By moving toward a nontraditional shade of green and pairing it with neutral brown, Terri was able to design a page that both feels like a Christmas layout and works particularly well with the many photos she had of her boys enjoying the celebration and their gifts. To create her layout, Terri used Vinter Kit, Vinter Worn Paper Pack, and Photo Clusters No. 45.

I would love to see the non-traditionally colored Christmas pages you create with Designer Digitals supplies. Upload them to our Color Challenge Gallery to share the inspiration!
